Yahoo Doesn’t Like MacPokerSoftware.com

I received a “we won’t be accepting your money” email from Yahoo! yesterday:

We’re sorry to report that your site did not qualify for listing using theYahoo! Directory Submit service. Yahoo! does not accept listings foronline gambling sites. Online gambling sites are those thathave gambling as their central theme, including those thataccept wagers or require payment in exchange for the chanceto win prizes, as well as sites that offer both information andlinks related primarily to the promotion of online gambling.

For this reason, your order has been forwarded to our billingteam for a full refund of the Yahoo! Directory Submit fee.

Frankly, I’m not bothered. I get my money back and I can stick to the “provide useful non-scummy content” strategy.

On a tangent, a good percentage of all the traffic to macpokersoftware.com is coming from Stockholm. Currently 11% and on an upward trend. I have no idea why.
